Hi
Im an expat and have an online share account with an irish bank. I am living outside of ireland and do not intend to return in the short to medium term. My question is, if I was to sell shares via the irish account, would I be liable to capital gains tax. (this is only for future reference as my shares are down by an average of 40% at the moment!)
Thanks,
E
 
This will depend on whether you are ordinarily resident in Ireland or not.

You will also need to check as to whether you will be liable to CGT in the country you are living in, and whether there is a double taxation agreement.

You should take professional advice in this regard.
